Ruthless

​​See how slippery and ruthless he is in this, he even offers us​ 'carnal gratification' in exchange for our belief in our oneness, but of course we would never accept this,​if it wasn't cloaked in a false spirituality.​​For example, Satan says "Ok our church policy is not particularly aimed at reaching out to the other churches around us, we don't love or bless them as much as we could".However, he goes on, "but we are building ​a 'big' church/ministry​ for God's glory".

​Big is appealing to our carnality leaders,because we can measure it,​but it's not so easy to measure our oneness.​​​However let's pray that our carnal 'measuring' will yield to Spiritual faith in what God has already given us,then ​we will surely see an increased measure ​far beyond our carnal interpretation of 'big'.​​However we find ourselves here building a big church/ministry while unknowingly 'conversing' with him regarding the ​'hard currency' ​that our enemy is really interested in from us.​Surprise surprise, he wants our belief in our oneness,​but he can't steal it, ​so he needs us to willingly,​but unwittingly give it up ​very cheaply.​(our very identity)

​But for that to happen, we'd have to believe it is of very little value,far less than a 'big' church or ministry appears to our flesh.​But as the Body of Christ, he's only giving us his pawns, ​yet we're mistakenly believing we've done well, we've had a 'bargain'.The way he achieves this is to always keep us ​ facing towards his 'back drop'.------​​He knows us, and Satan will sooth us with his comprehensive knowledge of what he knows we individually need to hear, ​toaccept and 'feel' absolved of ​responsibility for allowing, and being part of, his deviation from what we know​in our inner Spiritual core,to be the ​TRUTH.​​​

​For example: Not serving a local church because they are interpreting scripture incorrectly (in our view), justification.​"We don't have a problem with them, it's just their doctrine,we'll have to leave them to it".​​

We then find ourselves accepting this situation, happy to believe the deception, that we're better soldiers of Christ, if we forget the 'impossible unity' ​of His Body,and focus instead on doing​God's work.

Satan tells us "not to worry though, that there are far more important things then unity, 'it's all a bit frivolous really',​especially now we have this big church,God's blessing and favour is obviously on us,​away with you and your impossible, and over rated unity talk".

​It's at this exact moment he reminds us of ourgreat commission, offering us a detailed view of theendless fields ​in need of our harvesting.

​Multitudes of hurting people in one hand,and what looks like an ​unattainable, resource sappingideology in the other,​AND THE DEAL IS DONEin the Name of our God and ​because we love Him.​"Never underestimate your enemy". January 3rd 1777, General George Washington ​
